Starbucks says it will keep its Perkins Rowe location open, more than a year after it included the coffee shop on a list of U.S. stores it planned to close. The Seattle coffee giant earlier this week released a list of 27 stores it decided to keep open after they proved to be more profitable than initially thought. The Perkins Rowe location was the only Louisiana Starbucks on the list. The chain announced plans in July 2008 to close more than 900 stores, including nine in Baton Rouge, and cut as many as 6,700 jobs. Starbucks still has 10 locations in the Capital Region, according to the company Web site.
